Abstract
In a system for conducting medical studies a number of medical locations, such as clinics or medical practices, are connected to a central server via a computer network. The system is constructed in modular fashion, and it is automatically determined, with computer support within the system, whether a specific patient is eligible to participate in a medical study of the system, and if so, the sequence of the corresponding medical study is controlled centrally by corresponding modules, automatically and in a study-specific and patient-specific fashion.
